Yes I did understand your post, which is why I only quoted the "elementary school" portion of it. After that, the discussion had nothing to do with you. You would be surprised on how die-hard fooball fans would not agree with you, especially when it comes down to PSL's.

^Yeah. I don't understand why people are having such a difficult time understanding that KI, and other businesses, are here to make money 1st and our enjoyment falls after that. Is it fair? Depends who you ask. One thing for certain, life is not fair. Why KI needs to be fair confuses me. Do I wish KI was less expensive? Absolutely. I also understand the more money KI makes, it will increase the enjoyment of my experience long term. Sports stadiums have premium seating and luxury boxes. These areas are closer to the action and have perks. I would love to sit in a luxury box, but there is no way I can afford it. Am I upset that someone else can enjoy it? No way. I am happy to enjoy the action from a less expensive seat, one that I can afford.

Why is KI, or any business, required to follow elementry school rules?

With making the playoffs, you would think the bandwagoners would sell the stadium out.

I believe the installation of the metal detectors was more due to the racial tension that Cincinnati was knee deep in years ago rather than 9/11.

Hmmm.... Can WWC sink?

Obviously, you must not partake in investing as well.

^Perhaps.... There are SO many angles to this one, I honestly do not know how to feel. - safety - protection - appearance of previous issues - having them guarantees nothing - bottlenecks - privacy issues The list for/ against can go on, and on....

^ I have heard the same fatality story for a number of years myself and was a bit surprised to see, just today, that there was not. Again- it is from Wiki, but seeing Mr. Dave's info, makes me feel better as well.

Take it for what it is worth. From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freefall_(ride)

The Bengals back in to the playoffs and they are suddenly winners? Really?

I miss the 'tiques mainly due to what replaced them.

The Bengals shirt is a disappointment compared to the fanny pack.... EDIT- just in case there is a sequal: http://www.zazzle.com/fanny+pack+tshirts

You can see it all while enjoying FD.

Why do you hope it is permanent?

First, it is not an arguement, but a healthy discussion. Second, read some of the FB comments, and you will understand what I am referring to: Some of my favorites: There are MANY more, as well as many from supporters & feedback from Kennywood PR. Those opposed are not even considering what the PR rep is saying as valid. There will absolutely be more security, as there probably should have been more for some time. More security is a plus for everyone. I cannot possibly predict there will be no issues, but given there have been limited issues at Kennywood to this point (if a drunk wants to drink, they will get their "fix" even if beer is not being sold) especially after they had a trial run last year, and there are few issues at other parks (and even parks where a brewery is across the parking lot & the park is named after said beer), I cannot see how all these terrible predictions will now come true.

^^Do you believe Kennywood selling beer will change the atmosphere of the neighborhood or people from the neighborhood will now go to Kennywood because of beer sales?

Yeah. It is too bad some refuse to have an open mind are unwilling to accept change to the point they shove an opinion down others' throats by making threats. If it wasn't alcohol keeping them home, they would threaten to stay home for some other reason. It is amazing how when those want to see something negative, they actually look for it until it can be seen. Just because alcohol is beIng sold, does not mean Kennywood will have a rash of drunken idiots roaming the park. Just because "A" happened does not mean it will cause "B" to happen.

People crying on FB? Noooooo....... Things change. Times change. Some really need to get over themselves and understand this is a business decision. There is nothing wrong with having the option of kicking back with a cold brew while the kids are off having fun. Credit should be given for the decision to not sell beer on school picnic days.

All this talk of maps made me remember on of my favorite shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8zBC2dvERM You can actually change some of the dialogue and insert "SoB" & "fanboy" in certain spots....

^ START A FACEBOOK PAGE! That will show them.

SoB now has a topic discussing a topic. If this does not prove that SoB is the Zombie topic of all time, nothing will.

I couldn't find that page to save my life..... Nice job!

You would be surprised, dare I say shocked, on how fast SoB could be up and running. I have mentioned this in the past (how could you miss it in 53 pages???? ) a local wood coaster (with the ENTIRE park) sat for a number of years literally untouched. This coaster is MUCH, MUCH older than SoB and was up and running within a couple months with donated money (less than $70,000 if memory serves) and still operates today. The biggest issue at start-up; finding a motor for the lift. http://www.rcdb.com/249.htm
